Comments

I smoked cigarettes for 30 years and really wanted to stop. I tried the pills, gum, and patches. Nothing worked. A year ago I bought a nicotine vaporizor and haven’t touched a cigarette since. It’s a wonderful invention that finally helped me stopped smoking. Nicotine, though addictive, is actually good for you in many ways. Why won’t the FDA conduct studies? Are they being swayed by the tobacco industry to not conduct tests? Much is untested…but they helped me stop smoking. FDA approved products didn’t.
